Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb chicken breast
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 can (14 oz) canned artichoke hearts
  • 1 whole lemon
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 2 chicken breasts into cutlets and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

  2. 2

    Add the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 sliced zucchini, and 1 can drained artichoke hearts. Cook, stirring, until zucchini is tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Return the chicken to the skillet. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over everything and sprinkle with 1 tsp dried rosemary. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant and heated through.

  5. 5

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if you have it.
